>Metroid Prime - 2.84 million>Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - 1.10 million>God of War: 4.62 million>God of War 2: 4.23 millionLook at that huge dip with Echoes. It's clear people didn't like Prime 1, yet it's still shilled like it saved gaming or something. Meanwhile, despite being a sequel and thus alienating AND being M-rated in an era where COD was still rated T for teen, GOW2 kept its audience.

>>743832721Seething tendie moment
>>743832631It's a shame because Prime 2 is better than all the games you listed. Prime obviously hasn't been very influential, at least not directly. Making an actual metroidvania in 3D is very hard
laziest bait on the 'log award
God of War is one of the more embarrassing dubebro slops of that era. The kind of retards who enjoyed it at the time are the exact kinda guys who enjoy the reboot, pure cattle.
>>743833927Except NGB > GOW > DMCDMC fans are the embarrassing ones
>>743833927I dont like the reboot but I'm a big fan of the greek games, they're fun games.
what a weird comparison
>>743834458It makes sense when you know the best selling GC game was Smash Bros Melee and it was outsold by fucking Goldeneye on the N64.
>>743833927>The kind of retards who enjoyed it at the time are the exact kinda guys who enjoy the reboot, pure cattlePeople refuse to admit this but it's true. The late gen X/early millennial group are some of the biggest faggots in history. They grew up thinking they were the baddest rebels but now they're completely toothless establishment types
I have never played a single God of War game. I have played every Metroid game. What am I missing out on?
GoW 1 is masterpiece. =]

>>743834635Smashing the square button for hours on end, epic manly bacon safe rage.
>>743832631the ps2 sold 160m units but its best selling game only sold 4 million copies?
>>743835142GOW isn't its best selling game.
>>743834635Youre missiong out on playing devil may cry through the ancient greek myths.
I literally could not play the original God of War games. I physically could not do the button mashing. I wasn't able to beat the first boss of the game. It wasn't that getting its health bard down was hard, but there were these QTE segments my fingers could not do.
>>743835450Yeah I can't do button mashing anymore. Some coop games will have a "button mash against your friends" moments and I always lose.
Yeah that's true.
>>743833927i like it cause Im greek and it was the only game that had something to do with our history
>>743834834>safe rageYou literally brutally murder and maim sex slaves while they're begging for their lives. It's edgier than Hatred and only slightly less edgy than Rapelay
I fantasise about being hit in the head with hammers until I gracelessly expire. I remember seeing a screenshot one time of an anon who received a terminal cancer diagnosis and they were celebrating it as an end to their miserable life rather than being angry or upset. I didn't understand how he could possibly think like that at the time. I understand now.
>>743836531Mythology*
>>743834834So it's like Uncharted?>>743834697That doesn't sell me on it.>>743835297I've never played Devil May Cry because I hated emos when I was younger.So far this doesn't look like a game for me.
>>743833717It really isn't man, the pacing is atrocious, momentum is slow and the combat is an fps still doing the "shoot the weak point 3 times til it dies".People stopped playing games where you progress to a locked door telling you to eat shit and find the key 8 rooms away. it's slow and boring. The soundtrack is cool to listen to once but on loop for 30 hours it drones on until you start to hate it.No wonder people latched onto God of War, when the puzzles were short interludes between fast paced combat and you always had forward momentum going forward, never backtracking or getting lost.
>>743833927>>743834582>it's bad because I got bullied by people who played the game
>>743834635You sound like a troon, and most likely marathon games rather than take breaks.God of War was a fast paced puzzle and hack and slash series, it has a lot of momentum the moment you turn it on. Metroid is slow paced and made for autistic weebs who want to check every room in a game 5 times to get all the secrets and doesn't mind backtracking.I don't think it's for you. I think you should stick with an ARPG honestly.
>>743836897myths are based on history, like sure the illiad may be a myth but some version of the trojan war did indeed happen
>>743836897Hey, there's some history in God of War too. The Persian Wars are depicted in Chains of Olympus, there's some lore on Archimedes
>>743837391I like both Metroid and classic God of War. What am I?
>>743837880An anon with good taste, but also an idort so fuck you.
>>743834635you're an autistic nerd
>>743838196I mean, I like them for pretty much the same reason. The epic sense of scale, adventure, and atmosphere, the music, the giant monster battles, the puzzles, the upgrades/weapons
>>743837391>God of war is a puzzle gameLmfao I guess that's true if you're a full on fucking retard. Didn't know smashing 3 buttons while walking forward is a puzzle for dumbfucks.
>>743838964At least there's a semblance of spacial awareness to GOW puzzles that nintendo doesn't trust you toddlers with.Metroid is braindead, it's just backtracking for 20 hours.
>>743832631I had Metroid Prime and ignored Prime 2 in favor of just replaying the first again and again. Also the Prime 2 boxart was unappealing
>>743839181Wow, if it takes you 20hrs to beat Metroid you must be dumb as fuck. Not even joking.>>743835450>>743835519Yeah that's how I've always viewed God of War. You just smash buttons retardedly while pretending it's fun.
